Summary:Chewing gum containing Alitame and a high level of lecithin has surprisingly been found to provide chewing gum with a delayed release of the Alitame. The gum composition includes about 5% to about 95% gum base, about 10% to about 90% bulking agent, a sweetening amount of Alitame, and lecithin in an amount effective to delay the release of the Alitame such that at least a 15% decrease in Alitame release rate is achieved compared to the release rate of the same formula without lecithin.
